Cool Autumn Weather, Vibrant Fall Colors and Great Fruit

Autumn Garden Tips
It was a prolific year for tomatoes. Sunflowers hang their heavy heads. You don't have to read the Farmer's Almanac to know that cold is on its way but nice, fall days are still here to enjoy. Time to finish the vegetable harvest and start to work on raking and mulching those leaves. Interested in more Autumn Garden Tips? See our Household and Garden Tips menu for more helpful how-to's around the old homestead.
